1st Quarter (17-14) Apex Predators
Everest started off with a bang by claiming their first run with a resounding three. Being by far one of the most athletic teams – Kiki and Ryn Lee dominated the board with a total of 4 rebounds each.
Mulan’s facilitation enabled Matrix’s offense lessens the turnovers (2) and on the defensive ends – she was proved to be an indomitable protector under the rim. Fending off all the offenses from Kiki and Ryn Lee.
2nd Quarter (37-32) I am No.35
What Matrix needs in this quarter was for a scorer to step up. Enter Bobo Yap, the marksman of the team made 5 out 7 field goal and 12 points entering into the 2nd quarter.
Everest Group tighten their bellies even further by dominating paint. With Mulan rotating into the bench, the fast breaks from Everest were proven to be too hot to handle.
3rd Quarter (58 -45) Everest’s Crevices
Down with only 5 points, Kiki drained a 3 pointer and tied the game. However, Everest’s captain suffered a blow to the eye and was rested for the rest of the quarter.
To make matters even worst, Kiki suffered a cramp on the upper leg – Everest were at their limits and running on fumes. But there is one more quarter left to play. But Bobo took the opportunity and widen the lead with multiple daggers to the quarter.
4th Quarter (78-53) Domination
Running on fumes, Everest with all their might launched their last hurrah. With such a huge trail left by Matrix. With nothing left on the tank. Everest held on with their spirit. This was a new team – they are the underdogs, it was their game to lose – Everest group reached new heights today. They are second only to the best team in the league.
And that team, is none other than – NS Matrix. Congratulations, NS Matrix the crowned champion of the Piala MBNS 2021.
